Configuration File Download
The configuration file download feature allows to update the Mediatrix 4104 configuration by transferring a
configuration file via TFTP or HTTP. The configuration file is transferred from the configuration file download
server and the Mediatrix 4104 is the session initiator. The advantage of having the Mediatrix 4104 as the
session initiator is to allow NAT traversal.
The Configuration File sub-page of the Management page allows you to set various configuration file
download parameters grouped in three categories:

General parameters

Encryption

Automatic Update
You can also set these parameters via SNMP, as described in “Chapter 12 - Configuration File Download” on
page 185 .
Configuration File Download Server
The service allows to download a unique file for each Mediatrix 4104, and/or a file shared among many units.
These configuration files may be encrypted or not.
You have the choice to perform the configuration file download by using the TFTP protocol or the HTTP
protocol. You can also configure the Mediatrix 4104 to automatically update its configuration.
To download a configuration file, you may need to setup the following applications on your computer:

TFTP server with proper root path

SNTP server properly configured

HTTP server with proper root path
Configuring the TFTP Server
If you are to perform a configuration file download by using the TFTP protocol, you must install a TFTP (Trivial
File Transfer Protocol) server running on the PC designated as the TFTP server host. It is assumed that you
know how to set the TFTP root path. If not, refer to your TFTP server’s documentation.
Configuring the SNTP Server
If you are to use the automatic configuration file update feature (see “Automatic Configuration Update” on
page 44 for more details), you need to have a time server SNTP that is accessible and properly configured. It
is assumed that you know how to configure your SNTP server. If not, refer to your SNTP server’s
documentation. You can also refer to
“SNTP Settings” on page 35 for more details on how to configure the
Mediatrix 4104 for a SNTP server.
